Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup milk
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until the batter is smooth and well combined. Set aside.
Heat a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Add the sliced apples to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon over the apples, stir to coat evenly, and cook for another 2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and pour the prepared batter evenly over the apple mixture.
Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown around the edges.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pancake cool slightly (it will deflate as it cools).
Dust the pancake with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
Slice into wedges and serve warm.
